Should An Injury Between The Legs Be Worrisome?
My 5 yr old daugther just fell climbing on her sisters toddler bed. She fell on the side rails and when she fell, she fell between her legs. She has very very light blood spots in her panties and when I attempted to look I couldn t really see anything and wiped her with a wipe and there were just a few dots of blood on the wipe. Should I be worried?

Brief answer :
Perineal injury can occur.
Detailed answer :
Hi, welcome to HCM.
Since, your child has injury between legs and a red spot is there in the panties which indicates bleeding and injury.
Sometimes, Perineal fracture, urethral injury can also occur. I suggest you to see a surgery specialist for examination and further treatment.
I hope this will help you. Take care.
